Stop by Murphys Community Park
Nestled in the heart of the region, Murphys Community Park is an outdoor playground for both the young and the young at heart. Bring the kids to the playground, splash around in the creek, or declutter your mind with a morning run. Another fun thing about this park is that the Murphys Community Club organizes fun musical events with free entrance, delicious food made right there on the spot from June to September.
Dine at Grounds Restaurant
Seeing how well Grounds Restaurant is doing right now, it’s hard to believe that the eatery initially started out as a modest coffee and sandwich bar. After its establishment in 1992, Grounds Restaurant grew in popularity rather quickly (rightfully so) and now serves full-on breakfast, lunch, and dinner meals. Owner River Klass gained his skills in Paris, and—having trained at multiple top-tier restaurants—decided to bring his talent to Murphys.
Stay at the Inn on Knowles Hill
Staying at the Inn on Knowles Hill is like stepping into a time where the rhythm of life was slower. The charming bed and breakfast overlooks the historic Gold Rush town of Sonora, Twain Harte, and Jamestown—talk about a room with a view. And as far as places to stay in Murphys go, their lush gardens, luxurious suites, and giant neighboring sequoias make it a treat for the eyes and the soul.
